What is the reaction of a master to unconventional expressions of appreciation?

A master embraces unconventional expressions of appreciation with a smile born from silence, honoring the spontaneity of love while preserving the sacredness of the meditative space.

— Osho
According to Osho, a master welcomes even unconventional appreciation playfully when it comes from love. He is nonreactive and non-personal—he simply smiles, not at someone but from silence—and may even acknowledge daring with a special smile or wave. Yet he also safeguards the meditative atmosphere, encouraging spontaneity without disturbing the shared peace.

If you cheer oddly but lovingly, a wise teacher just smiles and maybe waves—while keeping the room’s quiet safe for everyone.
